Springfield Armory.
Model 1870 Sharps rifle. Cal 50-70 CF
Description: Springfield Armory. Model 1870 Sharps rifle. Cal 50-70 CF. 35 inch barrel with a bright excellent three grove bore numbered to the frame. About 1300 of these altered rifles were produced at Springfield Armory as an experiment into producing cartridge arms from Civil War "leftover" percussion actions. A considerable amount of supplemental parts were required to be produced by the armory, boosting the cost of the conversion above practicality. The barrel and the bands are a bright gunmetal grey with some scattered light oxidation staining and some minor handling marks. The frame shows some nice mottled color case hardening. The lever shows strong case colors with the lower tang a mottled grey and brown. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend rate very good with overall minor dings and handling marks from the years, the forend showing a bit more bruising. The buttplate tang has a strong "US" marking. The lock is crisp and mechanically tight. Overall a very fine original example of the first type Springfield Armory-manufactured Model 1870 Sharps rifle. Very accurate and RARE rifle. Serial # 0749. SOLD Antique: Yes |
